Organized Crime: The Tommy DeSimone Hit (9/6/24)

The Epstein Chronicles

Tommy DeSimone, a volatile and ruthless associate of the Lucchese crime family, is best known for his involvement in violent crimes and his participation in the infamous Lufthansa heist of 1978. Born into a family deeply connected to organized crime, DeSimone quickly gained a reputation for his unpredictable behavior and willingness to commit murder, which eventually led to his downfall. His unauthorized killing of a made man from the Gambino family, Billy Batts, set off a chain of events that resulted in his mysterious disappearance in 1979, believed to be a retribution killing orchestrated by the Gambino family, possibly with the involvement of John Gotti. Despite numerous theories and the passing of decades, DeSimone’s body has never been found, and his murder remains an unsolved mystery, emblematic of the brutal and secretive nature of Mafia justice.
